pleaSantrelationS which had always ex-
listed between Virginia and Connecticut.
AS he sat down President Dwight rose
and said Yale university and the state
of Connecticut extend the right hand of
fellowship to old Virginia. Mr.. Tucker
Sprang to his feet, and grasping Presi-
dent Dwight by the hand, attempted to
reply, but the outburst of applause was
SO enthusiastic that he stood several
minutes holding the president by the
hand before he could be heard. Mr..
Tucker thanked President Dwight for
his noble sentiment, and prayed God to
bless the union of Connecticut and Vir-
ginia and Yale university. This ex-
change of fraternal greetings and the
striking manner in which it was carried
out created the greatest enthusiasm and
most favorable comment. President
Dwight then announced that during the
year gifts of money had been received
aggregating nearly 100000.
